Im not a huge "space guy", but I have to tell you this game is VERY fun. While solo can get a bit frustrating on harder difficulties, Squad play with 3 buddies is peak gaming coop IMO. Super fun, everyone has a job, action galore!

What Im finding odd is that there are negative reviews for the game being to difficult at higher levels, and also about the same amount of negative reviews claiming the game is to easy. I'm not sure what the devs will make of that, but I've outlined some changes/issues that I think would be ideal:

-Solo play, if im deep into a ground mission don't have spacecraft show up and start attacking my damn ship! Its so annoying when you land to clear out an objective to get an alert seconds later "Your ship is under attack!". That's fine for multiplayer, but F right the hell off with that in solo.

-Dart design, why why why is there no mag boot strip/walkway to the top and bottom of the ship! Its so annoying having to get up and back to the ONLY airlock when you have to free jump and fly into space.

-Backpack, please add a backpack for smaller items. Its very annoying having to shuttle 6 artifacts and some stims or whatnot back to your ship. This would also let you take consumables on ground missions. If your solo, having to pick between ammo, health, or devices is annoying as hell.

-Artifact warning, When jumping please add an artifact warning message if there are un-secured artifacts that will be destroyed. My four man has accidentally destroyed sooo many of them jumping to a new zone assuming someone else sorted the artifacts out.

-Airlock grapple key. Please consider adding a new key that will allow you to exclusively grab/grapple to ONLY the airlock grapple point. Its very frustrating grabbing the wrong point over and over while your crew waits for you

-Space suits. The different suits don't seem to do anything at all right now. Im sure you're aware and are working on it, but it would be very nice if the 'class' suits did what was advertised. Or at least add a note to the description explaining that the feature is coming soon and is a WIP. New players will thank you

Scanner, the scanner kind of sucks and doesn't always show you materia and other objects sometimes. I don't really see the point in it, as sometimes while using it I'll see the outline and shapes of the different ships, but it won't let me scan them! annoying

Let me start off by saying MOO2 was my favorite game growing up. This just doesn't quite do it for me. Im not sure why, but it feels flat. Maybe Im use to more complex games like Stellaris now? I will say after playing this game I went back and played MOO2 and, while super dated MOO2 still just hits.

I'm going to give it a positive review, not because I think its awesome, but because I can't pinpoint why its bad.

I keep seeing reviews comparing this to Vampire Survivors. While this is also a "Survivor-like" game its not really fair to compare the two. With that being said, here is my direct comparison of the two LOL.

I'd say this is more action/environment focused. You feel more stressed then when surrounded in this game then Vampire Survivors, I'd also say its harder then VS. The combos/leveling of weapons is MUCH easier in VS, however that just means when you do have a good run going in Deep Rock it feels much more rewarding.

Overall I'd say its 100% worth playing if you enjoy "Survivor-like" games

Fun auto battler with some annoying quirks.

PROS:
-I really enjoyed building combo decks
-There are a bunch of neat bonuses/trees when leveling up your buffs
-Story kept me somewhat entertained

CONS:
-Short Campaign (took me around 18 hours to beat the game, and I was taking my time)
-Leveling up your troops feels unsatisfying. They need to get more ability points from leveling
-I HATED how repetitive the boss battles are. Why do they escape 3 billion times.. Why can't I kill them and fight a new boss. Do you know how INCREDIBLY unsatisfying that is?!!

Besides that I'd say, buy it on sale and its worth playing. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE

Very fun game, and very reminiscent of slay the spire. However, Hellcard has a few twist that I think give it an edge of other cards games.

-3D zone/area based arena that adds an entire level of depth and tactics
-Multiplayer, play with your friends of randoms which can be very fun to plan out attacks and combos
-Endless mode with leader boards and torment levels

What a gem, such a chill easy to play game. Super intuitive with a mix of subnatica vibes. Watching your planet go from mars like to a garden paradise slowly overtime feels very rewarding. At late game, I really enjoyed the wreck exploring warp gate. Such a need feature to keep the game fresh and give you something to do and explore while your planet finishes terraforming.


*SPOILERS*
I also enjoyed that there where 3 different endings, and that you can experience all of them if you want to.

Amazingly fun game with a very unique take and game play loop. The PVE servers are the way to go however. The PVP ends up being you VS a clan of 2+ people 90% of the time. Unless you have a pile of friends to play with PVE servers are a must.

Basically Dark and Darker in space

Being a huge MW4 Merchs I was super excited when this first came out. However I quickly put it down finding it lack luster. However I recently picked up some DLC on sale and tried it again. MAN! I've been having a blast. The mods and DLC make a huge difference. Also if you have friends to play with this game gets 10x better. Nothing like rolling into destroy a base or assassinate some scumlord with your boys at your back.

(I'd highly recommend getting it on sale though) :P

Fun game, with some neat progression and some cool base building. There isn't a ton of end game right now, but the devs seem to be working on it :)
